We led an alliance that delivered this multi-disciplined level crossing removal project and new station on Melbourne’s Pakenham/Cranbourne lines. Our scope included civil, structural, track, overhead, signalling and station building works over a 1.6 km congested site.
The Alliance had two major interim milestones that could not be changed: the closure of Springvale Road for 10 days; and a major five-day rail occupation during the Easter long weekend.
Meticulous planning for rail occupations and road closures allowed the works to be completed successfully within the allowable timeframes and involved daily coordination planning and communication between disciplines, i.e. civil, structures, station and rail teams. A master program was used to identify construction activities and identify any risks. As a result,we achieved zero unplanned disruptions, and all road and rail occupations were handed back to the operators on time.
MTM and VicRoads were embedded in the Alliance, holding key roles on the Management Team and with engineers integrated into the construction team, allowing for collaborative and proactive engagement with all key stakeholders and the community.
The removal of the crossing and the new Premium Station has greatly improved the daily commute and public safety for thousands of road and rail users, and has proved the catalyst for the creation of a vibrant new meeting place for the Springvale community.
